Marketing a new Q&A site
Hi all,
I'm a master's student in computer science @ Stanford. I've been working on a project to convert online forums into Q&A sites. For example, here's an original forum post:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-o ... -help.html
And here's my "goto: answer" version of it:
http://gotoanswer.stanford.edu/macbook_help-1333151/
What I've done is allow users to up-vote good answers. The site currently has 1 M questions and answers, but only from a limited scope - apple, mac, ios, iphone, etc. I can add 1 M questions in about a week and about basically any topic (that has an existing forum).
I'm more of a technical geek than a marketer, so I'm having trouble getting anyone to visit the site. I'd appreciate your feedback on thoughts about how I can improve the site and increase its traffic.
